My Cars 90% Done

[Rezz]

Well... it's been quite a while, but heres the 90% finished car:

Chargespeed carbon boot lid... I got the D-Max carbon bonnet, but it won't close with the RB20DET in there!!! What a waste of time and money. Those D-Max bonnets are so tough...

Racing Hart CP-S10 18x9 +21 (front), 18x10 +27 (rear)

S14 Silvia (JDM) 4 pot brakes and calipers never looked so small...

East Bear aero mirrors

Had bigger plans for the engine, but as the car is a daily driver (well if going to the shops and back once a week is classed as 'daily') it doesn't need 300kw at the treads... but this *was* a 1988 Silvia Q's so the weight is around 1080kg so she goes fast enough

What colour goes with poo brown??? Aaaaah.... black

Some tiger pattern tint on the quarter windows.

As I'm going back to Japan in November, this car will be left to my brother to decide what to do with it. So thats all for the mods as far as I'm concerned... next stop...

Mitsubishi Evolution VII???

[funkymonkey]

noice one rezzeh... car looks good. very JDM tyte y0.

screw the EVO VII, get an Evo IX Wagon (yes I know they're a totally different price... but how cool are they?)

mmm waaaagon.... do it... do it!

[eMsta]

what else has to be done to it? It looks fantastic!

[Rezz]

Shan: I momentarily thought about the Ranebo IX wagon, but it's just got that 'family man in denial' thing about it. But we'll see... I might even go for a Gallery Complete Car

emsta: Just a set of Black reclinable seats (maybe Sparco) and a GT253 and remapped ECU with 12psi. But times run out for me so if my brother wants to do that it's up to him.

Justin your heading back? Could you tell us more? or is it a secret?

[Rezz]

Justin your heading back? Could you tell us more? or is it a secret?

Yep heading back

The actual reason for going back is a secret, but I have sorted out the problem for me leaving in the first place so I can start from where I left off.

I'll probably head back to Osaka in the beginning, but where we actually decide to stay is still up in the air. Eastern Tokyo is a possibility, aswell as F-u-k-uoka (anti-SAU swear filter spelling) but location doesn't bother me so much, more what the missus is comfortable with.

7Tune is back after 1 year hiatus, and I'll be looking to do something different, more unique as far as content goes and well... you'll see.

Also looking to start my own school, crazy but true through word of mouth I already have 3 students waiting (!) to join!?? <-- that just freaks me out as I'm not even in Japan... these are ex-students though so I can't argue with their loyalty.

Theres more but don't want to divulge too much at this stage.

[akeenan]

good luck with it all. sounds like it could be a move for good .. ?

[Rezz]

Yep, I'll be there for the foreseeable future. Quite a few people in the Japanese community here think I'm crazy for going back, but at the same time I've had a few guys like my friend Yasuhiro who secretly wants to head back too despite his wife (Japanese) wanting to stay in AU. I think you've got to take the good with the bad anywhere you go, so it all depends on what you do with your time here/there.

The car is looking great... I hope I can see you before I leave for a wedding in Oz in early November.

Will I come back? This is a good question... I don't know

Personally as far as imports go, I am fully sold on the Toyota sedans, Type-X, Crown Athlete, etc...

[Swiper the Fox]

throw some before pics up too Rezz

PM me please mate!

You got to come back because you haven't been in JP long enough... I thought you wanted to become a monk?

[Rezz]

throw some before pics up too Rezz

Certainly

These were taken the day after I bought it off Yahoo auctions for AU$700:

Complete with rusty old Enkei 16x7/16x8s. The car was DEAD STRAIGHT and never been crashed... had 140,000km's on it. Now has 143,000km's

CA18DE went worse than it looked, I can only imagine how dreadful a 4AT would be.

Alpine tape player (even with remote 6CD stacker) has no place in modern Japan. Note freebie SuperAB 'uchiwa' (fan) on passenger seat which one of my brothers freinds offered me $10 for... yes I sold it!

[GTRR]

you gonna sell ur s13 rezz?

[Poida]

Rezz, that's looking hot mate! Pity about the bonnet though.. Not bad for a 6man yen ride. Also good luck on your trip back. If you ever get up to tokyo, pop in for a visit

Car looks good. Just need some bigger brakes.

Some Brembo F50.

[West]

Didnt' i say you're going to go back to Japan !

[Rezz]

The brakes are an optical illusion! They look much bigger than what the photo shows because I've got +21 offset wheels with 18mm spacers on the front... so the face of the wheel is literally closer to the camera while the brakes are 'in hte background' if you know what I mean, giving that weird perspective.... trust me

[Jinman]

really like your car mate, good to see the transformation!

[ellie]

If you don't mind me asking a financial question?

If you bought the car for only $700, how much did the whole projct end up costing you?

And what happened to the R32?

[Bl4cK32]

7Tune is back after 1 year hiatus, and I'll be looking to do something different, more unique as far as content goes and well... you'll see.

Cool i havent seen those r32 carbon fibre dash covers anywhere else since u had them on your site last time, but by the time i was ready to buy, u wernt around (Any chance of these??)

Hope u have some more uber good stuff in the future
